32 Pennies
Warrant · Extended Versions [2005]
On a knob for my brass bed
Climb to the top of the highest mountain
Just to see how far I get
Dancin' with my shadow
But I let my shandow lead
And if I die with a penny in my pocket
then I guess thats all I need
Oooh baby where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would
Come along with you
I could walk on down the road
Till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day
Cuz i'm in love with you
Ohh Ohh
Yeah
Ooh Ooh baby yeah
32 pennies in a Ragu jar
That's all I've got to my name
But I love her and she loves me
To the pennies its all the same
Oooh baby where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would
Come along with you
I could walk on down the road
Till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day
Cuz i'm in love with you
Ohh Ohh
my-my-my-my-my-my baby yeah
32 pennies in a Ragu jar
That's all I've got to my name
But I love her and she loves me
To the pennies it's all the same
ooh ooh
yeah
ooh ooh
Give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love
Ooh ooh, Whoa yeah!
32 Pennies
Warrant's 1986 hit "32 Pennies" remains a defining anthem of the new wave and glam metal eras. Recorded during the band's peak commercial success, the track blends hard rock energy with theatrical flair, showcasing frontman Michael Lee Adams' signature vocal style. Featured on the 2005 compilation "Extended Versions," the song captures the raw, rebellious spirit of mid-80s rock music. Its enduring popularity stems from its catchy melody and the iconic imagery of the title, which has become synonymous with the band's legacy. The recording stands as a testament to the era's ability to merge pop sensibilities with heavy distortion, influencing countless subsequent acts in the hard rock and alternative metal genres.
